A new pizza-and-brewery location in Apex, NC, requested us specifically for their commercial garage door installation after a positive past service experience. We installed two full view glass doors with openers, taking special care with the fragile glass panels and custom drilling each hinge and bracket since the doors weren’t pre-drilled.
This project was part of a new construction build, requiring precise timing and coordination with the builder to ensure the installation fit seamlessly with the overall construction schedule.
Most garage door repairs do not require a permit. Basic garage door installation in an existing garage door opening that does not change any structural components most likely will not require a permit, either.
